LIKE
THE DEW
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: “I will be like the dew to Israel.” (Hosea 14:2-10)
Reflection. Perhaps those who live in
temperate climates know the dew better than those of us who live in the
tropics. But even in the tropics we have
dew at times. It falls silently on the
land and we wake up in the morning to see the sheen of it. The whole landscape
is transformed until the sun gets up and
dries it. Hosea likens God’s coming to
the dewfall - the silent refreshing of
the land. There is no sound; only the awareness that things have changed. An
old English carol speaks of Christ’s coming as like the “dew that falls in April.” So it is in our lives. Silently he comes and transforms us. Perhaps
we do not notice
Prayer. Lord, help us trust the silent
transformation of our lives that you work in each of us. Help us to welcome you. Amen
